As of 2024, the Pac-12 would currently be the Pac-10 with the departure of USC and UCLA, and having not YET announced any expansion teams. So what does that mean for the (ongoing?) media rights negotiations?

On today's episode of Locked On Pac-12, Spencer McLaughlin discusses what the next TV deal will look like for the Pac-12. What should the priorities be for Pac-12 Commissioner George Kliavkoff in the new media rights deal?

Bowl season is around the corner, with 7 Pac-12 teams looking to end their seasons with a victory. Though often (unfairly) maligned, the bowls present an opportunity for the Pac-12 as a whole that they need to capitalize on.

Deion Sanders is inarguably the flashiest coaching hire any College Football team has made this offseason, bringing a sense of optimism that Colorado hasn't felt in quite some time. Even if he's not around for the long haul, it still represents a welcome change for Buff fans surrounding the long term viability of their football program.

On today's episode of Locked On Pac-12, Spencer McLaughlin dives into a busy weekend of news in the Pac-12. Caleb Williams became the first Pac-12 player to win the Heisman since Marcus Mariota 8 years ago--and he was very deserving of the award.

There are no longer any Pac-12 Football coaching vacancies with Stanford having hired Troy Taylor from Sacramento State to replace David Shaw. Spencer dives into the hire and why the Cardinal likely landed on him as their new football coach.

Deion 'Coach Prime' Sanders has already made a big splash at Colorado with his moxy and the looming potential of turning around the Buffs after a 1-11 season. He won a lot of games at Jackson State as its head coach, but his biggest impact in the short term on other Pac-12 programs could come on the trail (or the portal).

On today's episode of Locked On Pac-12, Spencer McLaughlin is joined by recruiting insider John Garcia to talk about Coach Prime's impact on the recruiting trail. Could he be enough of a presence at Colorado to pull away high-level recruits from traditional recruiting powers like USC, Oregon, and Washington? Don't underestimate the power of Prime.

Washington QB Michael Penix Jr., the nation's leading passer, announced he is going to return to the Huskies in 2023 citing "unfinished business". What does that mean for Sam Huard, who will once again be poised to sit on the bench as a former 5-star recruit?

Deion Sanders is a larger-than-life personality who has a knack for recruiting, and the transfer portal seems to be something that could benefit him greatly. Pac-12 fans should expect him to swing for the fences when it comes to transfers he wants to bring into Boulder.

On today's episode of Locked On Pac-12, Spencer McLaughlin examines the prospect of a California native and highly coveted recruit coming out of high school transferring to the Pac-12. A 5-star QB recruit coming out of St John Bosco high school, (former) Clemson QB DJ Uiagalelei enters the portal having been unable to live up to the hype with the Tigers. That doesn't mean several Pac-12 schools shouldn't be interested--and some probably will be.

The Pac-12 announced its all-conference teams and league awards, headlined by Jonathan Smith and Kalen DeBoer sharing Coach of the Year honors. Spencer goes through the all-conference teams and says why there were not too many surprises, and what those who voted on the awards got right (this time).

The Utes now get a second straight opportunity to win the program's first ever Rose Bowl against a top-10 opponent in Penn State. Spencer and JT discuss what it means for Utah to have finally broken through the glass ceiling in the Pac-12 in back-to-back seasons and what it might mean going forward.

On today's episode of Locked On Pac-12, Spencer McLaughlin is joined by 'Locked On Utes' host JT Wistrcill. They go through just how Utah came back after trailing 17-3 against USC to win comfortable for their second straight conference championship.

The Trojans had their Heisman-level quarterback making explosive plays and were moving the ball almost at will as they jumped out to a 17-3 lead. Then, Utah woke up in a big way in Saturday's Pac-12 Championship Game and snatched away USC's College Football Playoff hopes in a 47-24 victory.

Deion Sanders has brought the eyes of the College Football world onto one of the most struggling programs in the country. Buffs fans are understandably excited, but can Sanders deliver wins once his Colorado teams hit the field?

On today's episode of Locked On Pac-12, Spencer McLaughlin looks at the fallout of 'Coach Prime' arrival to the conference by way of Colorado. Success has been difficult to obtain for the Buffs since joining the Pac-12, but Deion Sanders will likely have one thing working for him that past coaches did not as they search for success.

The transfer portal has opened and it's a free-for-all with a lot of talented players looking for new homes. 2 Pac-12 wide receivers who had great seasons this year are leaving WSU and Arizona, and several Pac-12 schools should draw interest in one or both of those wideouts.

Utah joined the Pac-12 with Colorado in 2011 to expand the league, and both made major headlines over the weekend. The Utes won their second straight Pac-12 Football Championship, and Colorado announced the splashy hire of Jackson State's Deion "Prime Time" Sanders as their next football coach.

On today's episode of Locked On Pac-12, Spencer McLaughlin goes through the fantastic news cycle for the Pac-12 over the weekend. The Pac-12 is again missing the College Football Playoff, but there was a true silver lining in Utah's upset victory over USC.

With no more games set to be played between Pac-12 teams this year, bowl season is set. Spencer goes through each of the 7 games that give the Pac-12 an opportunity to further solidify its brand of having a strong 2022 season

USC is out for redemption after losing to Utah in Salt Lake City earlier this year, and this time their showdown with the Utes comes with the Pac-12 Championship game on the line. After losing by just 1 point on Utah's home field, the Trojans may not need to make too many changes to emerge victorious on a neutral site.

On today's episode of Locked On Pac-12, Spencer McLaughlin is joined by 'Locked On Trojans' host Marc Kulkin. They discuss the biggest keys for Lincoln Riley's team to cement their spot in the College Football Playoff. Offensively, the Trojans are without RB Travis Dye but still have been able to find success running the ball.

USC has subtly been good (or better) in the trenches over the last few weeks, but still their defense is highly dependent on turnovers. Spencer and Mark look at one of the most intriguing position group matchups in the Trojans WRs against the Utes DBs, and make their game score predictions as well.

When the Utes and the Trojans battled in Salt Lake City back in October, Utah emerged victorious and handed USC what is still their only loss of the season. Now with a rematch looming, USC is favored by just three points with a College Football Playoff berth on the line.

On today's episode of Locked On Pac-12, Spencer McLaughlin is joined by 'Locked On Utes' host JT Wistrcill. They discuss what Utah must do in order to repeat as Pac-12 Champions this year, and it starts with containing Caleb Williams within the confines of the pocket to throw the football.

Utah's offense has shown flashes of greatness this year, such as when they scored 43 points against the same USC defense they will face on Friday night--led by QB Cam Rising and TE Dalton Kincaid. The Utes will be without their leading rusher in Tavion Thomas, so can they muster up enough points to keep pace with a high-octane USC offense?
